Funny or Die has released a teaser trailer of their own Steve Jobs biopic slated for release on April 15th. The hour long film is being called “The first Steve Jobs movie” and will star Justin Long or as you all may know the Mac vs Pc guy in Apple’s past television commercials.

iSteve will follow technology visionaries Steve Jobs, Woz, and others as they begin to develop the Apple movement.

In the following concept you will see improved features within iOS ranging from simple lockscreen enhancements, widgets, native quick reply, a download manager for safari and more.

It is rumored that Apple will release iOS 7 towards the end of Summer 2013. They are currently running behind and have even pulled developers from their OSX department to work on the new iOS 7 update.

The new update will bring many visual enhancements and a complete fresh new look to iOS.

Officials within the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) are a bit upset that they cannot crack Apple’s iMessage encryption. The DEA currently listens in on suspects and criminals via text messaging and phone calls.

While these have been known tactics for years the DEA reports that with Apple’s new iMessage technology it is “impossible” to intercept messages going on between two people.

The DEA notes that it’s easier for the agency to obtain messages between suspects if they are using a non Apple device. The administration reports it “seems to be more successful if the intercept is placed on the non-Apple device.”




Appleinsider,

The security of Apple’s iOS platform vs. competing mobile operating systems like Google Android is frequently touted as a key advantage for the iPhone. The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center even issued a warning to users last year regarding malware that targets Android devices.

iMessages are encrypted messages that can be sent between Apple devices, including iPhones, iPads and even Macs running the OS X platform. The service launched with iOS 5 in 2011, and Apple publicly revealed that all sent and received iMessages would be securely encrypted.

DEA officials first discovered that iMessages could be a hinderance to their efforts when a real-time electronic surveillance under the Federal Wiretap Act failed to yield all of a target’s text messages. The agency then discovered that the person was using iMessage, which bypassed the text messaging services of carrier Verizon.

With Facebook recently announcing it’s Facebook Home software addon for Android it was only a matter of time before parodies hit Youtube.Take a look below to learn a little more about Facebook Home and to watch the hilarious parody video of whats to come.

An exclusive interview with some of the designers of the Facebook Phone.

According to Japanese blog Macotakara Apple has started mass producing it’s next generation iPhone 5S. The new iPhone is currently being produced alongside the iPhone 5 meaning no significant design changes have been made.

It is highly likely Apple will just bump up the specs on the iPhone 5S with a faster processor, better camera, and a slightly slimmer design. Rumors have recently hit the web with some predicting an iPhone 5S release in July while others suggest a release in August.



Appleinsider,

MacOtakara also claimed that Japan’s number one cellular provider NTT DoCoMo, which is not yet an Apple partner carrier, is apparently reducing orders for Android-based smartphones for the upcoming fall 2013 season. The supposed move has prompted rival carriers to speculate that DoCoMo may soon start sales of the iPhone.

Rumors surrounding the release of Apple’s next-gen smartphone have been heating up, with two reports on Monday claiming the iPhone 5S will likely see a summer rollout. The exact dates haven’t been pinned down, with predictions ranging from a June announcement to a release in August.
